Description of the problem | The rear end was replaced under warranty in my 2005 titan at 55k miles no charge due to oval shaped axle tubes causing axle seal failure. Here i am again 2012 with 115k miles out of warranty but only 60k miles on the rear end that was replaced under warranty and have the same issue blown axle seals due to out of round axle tubes. If you do not recognize this all the axle oil can leak out causing sudden rear differential failure which may lead to a crash or loss of life. Nissan was contacted about this issue after the seals where replaced in the second rear end and the seals continue to leak after replacement. Nissan refused to do anything about the issue and stated "your truck is out of warranty" imo there should have been a recall on the axles leaking along with the cracked exhaust manifolds that were numerous reported also. Visit the nissan forums and you can view 44 pages of differential issues on titan talk. Com. Nissan should be held accountable... |
